REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CEMEX ESPANA AND THE COMPANY. Cemex Espana and the Company represent and warrant to the Purchasers that: 5.1 Organization; Power and Authority. The Company is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Cemex Espana is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain. Each of Cemex Espana and the Company is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Cemex Espana and the Company has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver the Financing Documents to which it is a party and to perform the provisions thereof. 5.2 Authorization, etc. Each Financing Document has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of each Obligor party thereto, and each Financing Document constitutes, or will constitute upon execution and delivery thereof, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 5.3 Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, RBS Securities Corporation, has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated March, 2005 (the "Memorandum"), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.3, this Agreement, the Memorandum, the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of Cemex Espana or the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed on Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Memorandum or as expressly described on Schedule 5.3, or in one of the documents, certificates or other writings identified therein, or in the financial statements listed on Schedule 5.5, since December 31, 2004, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company or Cemex Espana that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Memorandum or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or Cemex Espana specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 5.4 Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of (i) Cemex Espana's Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2005, excluding the subsidiaries of RMC Group Limited integrated into Cemex Espana as a result of the RMC Group Limited acquisition on March 1, 2005, showing, as to each Cemex Espana Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization and the percentage of shares of each class of its Capital Stock outstanding owned by Cemex Espana and each other Subsidiary, (ii) RMC Group Limited subsidiaries and affiliates as of April 30, 2005 showing, as to each subsidiary and affiliate, the correct name thereof and the jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) the directors and senior officers of each of Cemex Espana and the manager of the Company. (b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown on Schedule 5.4 as being owned by Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by Cemex Espana or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 5.4). (c) Each Subsidiary identified on Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, if applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (d) Except for any legal restriction or agreement to which any Subsidiary acquired as part of the acquisition of RMC Group Limited was subject at the time of such acquisition (which restrictions and agreements Cemex Espana shall use its reasonable endeavors to remove as soon as possible), no Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal restriction or any agreement (except for customary limitations imposed by corporate law statutes) directly restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to Cemex Espana or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary. 5.5 Financial Statements. Cemex Espana has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such schedule and the consolidated results of their operations for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with Spanish GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). 5.6 Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of the Financing Documents will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary is bound or by which Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary. 5.7 Governmental Authorizations, etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Obligor of any Financing Document to which such Obligor is a party. 5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.8, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Cemex Espana, threatened against or affecting Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary or any property of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (b) Neither Cemex Espana nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 5.9 Taxes. Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries have filed all Material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which Cemex Espana or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with relevant national accounting standards and practices (in the case of Cemex Espana, Spanish GAAP). Cemex Espana knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. 5.10 Title to Property; Leases. Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5U or purported to have been acquired by Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects. 5.11 Licenses, Permits, etc. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.11, (a) Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others except for those conflicts that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) to the best knowledge of Cemex Espana, no product of Cemex Espana or of any Subsidiary infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person; and (c) to the best knowledge of Cemex Espana, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of Cemex Espana or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by Cemex Espana or any of its Subsidiaries. 5.12 ERISA; Foreign Pension Plans. (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Material liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that would reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such Material liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. (b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan's most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding in such Plan's most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect in the case of any single Plan or in the aggregate for all Plans. The term "benefit liabilities" has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms "current value" and "present value" have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA. (c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that are individually or in the aggregate are Material. (d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax would be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(d) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes. (e) All Foreign Pension Plans have been established, operated, administered and maintained in material compliance with all laws, regulations and orders applicable thereto. Except where it would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, all premiums, contributions and any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to applicable Foreign Pension Plan documents or applicable laws have been paid or accrued as required. 5.13 Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes, the Note Guarantee or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers and not more than 40 other Institutional Investors (as defined in clause (c) of the definition of such term), each of which has been offered the Notes and the Note Guarantee at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes or the Note Guarantee to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. 5.14 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company, through its parent Cemex Netherlands B.V., will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes (including the repayment of Financial Indebtedness) of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board. Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries and Cemex Espana does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 25% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms "margin stock" and "purpose of buying or carrying" shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U. 5.15 Existing Financial Indebtedness; Future Liens.

Neither Cemex Espana nor any Subsidiary is in default, and no waiver of such a default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Financial Indebtedness of Cemex Espana or such Subsidiary and no Material event or condition exists with respect to any Financial Indebtedness of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or other lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Financial Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. (b) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.15, neither Cemex Espana nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.3U. 5.16 Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, etc. Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.

Except as otherwise disclosed to the Purchasers in writing, (a) neither Cemex Espana nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts that would give rise to any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties or other assets now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or their use, except, in each case, such as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (b) neither Cemex Espana nor any Subsidiary has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws, in each case in any manner that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) all buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except where failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 5.19 Pari Passu Obligations.

Cemex Espana will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep accurate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with relevant national accounting standards and practices (in the case of Cemex Espana, Spanish GAAP). 8.

The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment (which date shall be a Business Day and shall be specified in such notice), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.5) and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date. In the event the Company shall incorrectly compute the Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable in connection with any Note to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.2, the holder of such Note shall not be bound by such incorrect computation, but instead, shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the correct Make-Whole Amount, if any, computed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. 8.3 Optional Prepayment of Notes for Tax Reasons. If the Company or Cemex Espana (assuming that Cemex Espana is required to make a payment) shall deliver to each holder (each, an "Affected Holder") to which an Additional Payment would be payable by the Company or Cemex Espana on the occasion of the next payment by the Company or Cemex Espana in respect of such Notes (in the case of Cemex Espana, in an amount greater than 10% of the amount which Cemex Espana would have been obligated to pay exclusive of the requirements of Section 14.3) (the date of such next payment in respect of which such Additional Payment will be due is herein referred to as the "Affected Payment Date") written notice of a Responsible Officer (with respect to each incident in which a Related Tax is initially levied by a Taxing Jurisdiction that would result in the payment of an Additional Payment, a "Tax Prepayment Notice") setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the Related Tax in respect of such Additional Payment and confirming that (a) such Related Tax is required, under the laws of such Taxing Jurisdiction, to be withheld or deducted from the payment due to such Affected Holders on such Affected Payment Date and that such payment is the first payment in respect of which such particular Related Tax must be withheld (it being understood that the payment immediately following and reflecting a change in a pre-existing Related Tax shall be deemed the first payment with respect to such Related Tax), provided that if the enactment of the statute or regulation, the amendment of an existing statute or regulation or the adoption or amendment of a treaty giving rise to a Related Tax occurs less than 180 days prior to the due date of a payment in respect of the Notes that is subject to such Related Tax, then, at the election of the Company, the first payment in respect of the Notes, the due date of which is more than 180 days after such enactment, shall be deemed to be such first payment and (b) as of the date of such opinion, such Related Tax would be required to be withheld from similar future payments to such Affected Holders, then the Company may elect to prepay all (but not less than all) of the Notes held by each such Affected Holder, provided that the Company may not elect to so prepay if (i) the Related Tax being levied is in respect of a payment under the Notes having an Affected Payment Date that is more than 180 days after the delivery of the notice from a Responsible Officer referred to above in respect of such Related Tax or (ii) the Company (or, if applicable, Cemex Espana) shall have failed to take such reasonable actions as are provided by law so as to avoid the imposition of such Related Tax, or the Company (or, if applicable, Cemex Espana) shall have taken any action the direct result of which is the imposition of such Related Tax. The Company shall deliver such Tax Prepayment Notice to each Affected Holder not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the prepayment date (in respect of each Tax Prepayment Notice, a "Tax Prepayment Date"), which Tax Prepayment Date shall be the Affected Payment Date related to such Additional Payment, which Tax Prepayment Notice shall state the circumstances giving rise to the Company's (or, if applicable, Cemex Espana's) obligation to make such Additional Payment and shall set forth the Tax Prepayment Date. Such Tax Prepayment Notice shall also state that each Note of each such Affected Holder shall be prepaid on such Tax Prepayment Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note, together with an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount, if any, as of the Tax Prepayment Date in respect of the principal amount of the Notes being so prepaid and interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Tax Prepayment Date (as provided in the definition of Reinvestment Yield, in determining the Make-Whole Amount with respect to any prepayment under this Section 8.3, and only under this Section 8.3, the margin over the implied yield of U.S. Treasury Securities will be 0.85% rather than 0.50%). No Note of any Affected Holder shall be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 if such Affected Holder shall, not less than five Business Days prior to the Tax Prepayment Date, deliver a written notice to the Company (which notice shall be binding on any transferee of such Note), stating that such Affected Holder unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to any Additional Payment under Section 14.3 in respect of the specific event or condition (including with respect to the continuing or future effects of such specific event or condition on subsequent payments) that shall have given rise to the Company's prepayment right under this Section 8.3 (it being agreed that no such waiver shall constitute a waiver of any other right to receive Additional Payments in respect of any event or condition other than the specific event or condition in respect of which such waiver shall be given). Two Business Days prior to the Tax Prepayment Date, the Company will deliver to each Affected Holder a certificate of a Responsible Officer specifying the principal amount of the Notes of such Affected Holders specified therein, together with the Make-Whole Amount, if any, as of the specified Tax Prepayment Date with respect thereto, if any, and accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable on the specified Tax Prepayment Date. In the event the Company shall incorrectly compute the Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable in connection with any Note to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3, the holder of such Note shall not be bound by such incorrect computation, but instead, shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the correct Make-Whole Amount, if any, computed in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company will, promptly after making such prepayment, notify in writing all holders of Notes of the payment amount, and the name of the holder, of each Note prepaid under this Section 8.3. 8.4 Prepayment Upon Substantial Asset Disposition. In the event that Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary (i) effects any sale, lease or other disposition of assets constituting a Substantial Asset Disposition and (ii) elects to apply the Net Proceeds Amount resulting from such Substantial Asset Disposition to the retirement of Senior Debt in accordance with Section 10.4, the Company will offer to prepay, by written notice to all holders as provided in the next sentence (a "Section 8.4 Notice"), a principal amount of each Note equal to the Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds Amount of such Substantial Asset Disposition, together with accrued and unpaid interest due on each Note to the Disposition Prepayment Date (defined below), without any Make-Whole Amount. Each Section 8.4 Notice shall (i) describe the material facts of the related Substantial Asset Disposition in reasonable detail, (ii) refer to this Section 8.4 and the rights of each holder of the Notes to require that an amount equal to the Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds Amount from such Substantial Asset Disposition be applied to the prepayment of such holder's Notes on the terms and conditions provided herein, (iii) contain an offer by the Company to apply an amount equal to the Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds Amount to the prepayment of the principal of the outstanding Notes held by such holder, with accrued interest to the Disposition Prepayment Date, but not including any Make-Whole Amount, and (iv) set forth the date, which shall be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the date of the Section 8.4 Notice and not more than one year following the date of such Substantial Asset Disposition (the "Disposition Prepayment Date"), on which the Company shall make such prepayment. Each holder of the Notes shall have the right to accept such offer of prepayment by written notice to the Company given not later than 20 days following receipt of the Section 8.4 Notice. Holders that do not submit such a written notice to the Company accepting such offer of prepayment within such 20-day period shall be deemed to have rejected such offer. The Company shall on the relevant Disposition Prepayment Date prepay an amount equal to the Pro Rata Amount of the Net Proceeds Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Disposition Prepayment Date, without any Make-Whole Amount, and shall apply such amounts to the Notes held by holders who have accepted the Company's offer of prepayment. 8.5 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2U, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. 8.6 Maturity; Surrender, etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8U, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. 8.7 Purchase of Notes. Cemex Espana and the Company will not, nor will Cemex Espana or the Company permit any Affiliate (to the extent that the Company or Cemex Espana controls such Affiliate), to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by any Obligor or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer pursuant to the preceding clause (b) shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 30 Business Days. If the Required Holders accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 8.8 Make-Whole Amount for Notes. The term "Make-Whole Amount" means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: "Called Principal" means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. "Discounted Value" means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. "Reinvestment Yield" means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% (or 0.85% in the case of any prepayment under Section 8.3) plus the yield to maturity implied by: the yields reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the displays designated as "Page PX1" on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Services Screen (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Services Screen) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the term to maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the term to maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Life. "Remaining Life" means, with respect to any Called Principal of any Note, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the maturity date of such Note. "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of such Note, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 12.1. "Settlement Date" means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 8.9 Change in Control, Offer to Prepay, etc. (a) Notice and Offer. If a Responsible Officer shall have knowledge of Cemex having entered into a binding agreement that will give rise to a Change in Control, such agreement shall have been publicly disclosed, and it is reasonably practicable to give notice of such agreement to the holders prior to the expected effective date of such Change in Control (taking into account any applicable confidentiality agreements and other business considerations arising in connection with the negotiation of related transactions), Cemex Espana shall cause the Company to give each holder of the Notes notice of such agreement and such expected effective date no less than 10 Business Days prior to such expected effective date. Within 30 days of the actual effective date (if any) of such Change in Control, Cemex Espana will cause the Company to give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder. Such written notice of the actual effective date shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer by the Company to prepay all of the Notes held by such holder (or, at the election of such holder, a portion of such Notes designated by such holder) on a date specified in such notice (the "Control Prepayment Date") that is not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such written notice. If the Control Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Control Prepayment Date shall be the 60th day after the date of such written notice. (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept (in whole or in part) or reject (in its entirety) such offered prepayment, a holder shall cause a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company not later than five Business Days prior to the Control Prepayment Date. In such notice, such holder shall, if such notice is an acceptance, designate the principal amount of Notes that it has elected to have prepaid and, if such notice is a rejection, state that such holder is rejecting in its entirety such offered prepayment. If so accepted, such offered prepayment in respect of such principal amount of such Notes shall be due and payable on the Control Prepayment Date. Such accepted offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes so elected to be prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to the Control Prepayment Date, but not including any Make-Whole Amount.

Cemex Espana will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated, except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 9.3 Maintenance of Properties. Cemex Espana will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided that this Section shall not prevent Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and Cemex Espana has concluded that such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 9.4 Payment of Taxes and Claims.

Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.4, Cemex Espana will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into Cemex Espana or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of Cemex Espana and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith exercise of the reasonable business judgment of Cemex Espana, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 9.6 Pari Passu Obligations. Cemex Espana covenants that the obligations of each Obligor hereunder and under the Financing Documents rank at least pari passu with the claims of all other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors of such Obligor, except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally (including but not limited to under paragraph 1, 2 or 3 of Article 913 of the Spanish Commercial Code (Codigo de Comercio), Articles 90 and 91 of the Spanish Insolvency Law (Law 22/2003), Article 32 of the Spanish Workers' Statute (Estatuto de los Trabajadores), Article 71 of the Spanish General Taxation Law (Ley General Tributaria) and Article 22 of the Spanish General Law on Social Security (Ley General de la Seguridad Social). 10.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the Required Holders by written notice to the Company may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17 and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements. 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES. 13.1 Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes. 13.2 Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company's expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) of the same series in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of the Note of such series originally issued hereunder. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $500,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a series, one Note of such series may be in a denomination of less than $500,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. 13.3 Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000, such Person's own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES. 14.1 Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at Citibank, N.A, 111 Wall Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10043, Corporate Agency and Trust Department. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in the United States. 14.2 Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or a nominee of such Purchaser shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser's name on Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by any Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as such Purchaser has made in this Section 14.2. 14.3 Tax Indemnification. (a) Payments Free and Clear. All payments to be made by the Company under this Agreement and the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, assessments or fees of whatever nature, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any holder's net income or receipts (such non-excluded items, "Related Taxes"), imposed or levied by or on behalf of Spain, The Netherlands, the United States or any jurisdiction from or through which any amount is paid by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Notes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any such jurisdiction) (a "Taxing Jurisdiction"), unless the withholding or deduction of any such Related Tax is required by law. (b) Gross-Up, etc. If any deduction or withholding for any present or future Related Tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required in respect of any amount to be paid by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes, the Company will promptly (i) pay over to the government or taxing authority of the Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Related Tax the full amount required to be deducted or withheld by the Company (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from or otherwise paid by the Company in respect of any Additional Payment required to be made pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 14.3(b)) and (ii) except as expressly provided below, pay to each holder entitled under this Agreement to receive the payment from which the amount referred to in the foregoing clause (i) has been so deducted or withheld such additional amount as is necessary in order that the amount received by such holder after any required deduction or withholding of Related Tax (including, without limitation, any required deduction, withholding or other payment of Related Tax on or with respect to such additional amount) shall equal the amount such holder would have received had no such deduction, withholding or other payment of Related Tax been paid (the "Additional Payment"), and if any holder pays any amount in respect of any Related Tax on any payment due from the Company hereunder or under the Notes, or penalties or interest thereon, then the Company shall reimburse such holder for that payment upon demand, provided that no payment of any Additional Payment, or of any such reimbursement in respect of any such payment made by any such holder, shall be required to be made for or on account of: (A) any Related Tax that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such holder and the Taxing Jurisdiction or any territory or possession or area subject to the jurisdiction of the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note, including, without limitation, such holder's being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having an establishment therein; (B) any such holder that is not a resident of the United States of America or, with respect to any payment hereunder or under the Notes owing to such holder, all or any part of which represents income that is not subject to United States tax as income of a resident of the United States of America to the extent that, had such holder been a resident of the United States of America or had the payment been so subject to United States tax, or had the payment been made to a location within the United States of America, the provisions of a statute, treaty or regulation of the Taxing Jurisdiction would have enabled an exemption to be claimed from the Related Tax in respect of which an Additional Payment would otherwise have been payable; or (C) any combination of the items or conditions described in clause (A) or clause (B) of this Section 14.3(b); and provided further that the Company shall not be obliged to pay any Additional Payment to any holder of a Note in respect of Related Taxes to the extent such Related Taxes exceed the Related Taxes that would have been payable but for the delay or failure by such holder (after receiving a written request from Cemex Espana or the Company to make such filing and including copies (together with instructions in English) of forms, certificates, documents, applications or other reasonably required evidence (collectively, "Forms") to be filed) in the filing with an appropriate Governmental Authority or otherwise of Forms required to be filed by such holder to avoid or reduce such Related Taxes and that in the case of any of the foregoing would not result in any confidential income tax return information being revealed, either directly or indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such holder, provided that such holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this proviso upon the good faith completion and submission of such Forms as may be specified in a written request of the Company no later than 45 days after receipt by such holder of such written request. (c) Official Receipt. If the Company shall make any such Additional Payment, it will promptly furnish each holder receiving such Additional Payment under this Section 14.3U an official receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts deducted or withheld as aforesaid. (d) Other. Each holder agrees to use its best efforts to comply (after a reasonable period to respond) with a written request of the Company delivered to such holder to provide information (other than any confidential or proprietary information) concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such holder, and to make such declaration or other similar claim or reporting requirement regarding such information (copies of the forms of which declaration, claim or reporting requirement shall have been provided to such holder by the Company), that is required by a statute, treaty or regulation of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of any Related Tax. The Company agrees to reimburse each holder for such holder's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred in complying with any such request of such Person. (e) Tax Refund. If the Company makes an Additional Payment under this Section 14.3 for the account of any Person and such Person is entitled to a refund of any portion of the tax (a "Tax Refund"), to which such payment is attributable, and such Tax Refund may be obtained by filing one or more Forms, then such Person shall after receiving a written request therefor from the Company (which request shall specify in reasonable detail the Forms to be filed), file such Forms. If such Person subsequently receives such a Tax Refund, and such Person is readily able to identify the Tax Refund as being attributable to the tax with respect to which an Additional Payment was made, then such Person shall reimburse the Company such amount as such Person shall determine acting in good faith to be the proportion of the Tax Refund, together with any interest received thereon, attributable to such Additional Payment as will leave such Person after the reimbursement (including such interest) in no better or worse position than it would have been if the Additional Payment had not been required. Nothing in this clause (e) shall obligate any holder to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Company. (f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the holders under this Section 14.3 shall survive the payment in full of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement. 14.4 Currency of Payment. (a) Payment in Dollars. All payments under the Notes shall be made in Dollars. (b) Certain Expenses. If any expense required to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes is originally incurred in a currency other than Dollars, the Company shall nonetheless make reimbursement of that expense in Dollars, in an amount equal to the amount in Dollars that would have been required for the Person that incurred such expense to have purchased, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the day that expense was originally incurred. (c) Payments Not in Dollars. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Company in respect of any amount due under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes shall (notwithstanding any payment in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof, the realization of any security, the liquidation of any Obligor, any voluntary payment by any Obligor or otherwise) be discharged only to the extent of the amount in Dollars that each holder entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such holder receives such payment. If the amount in Dollars that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or under any judgment or order. 15. EXPENSES, ETC. 15.1 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company and Cemex Espana will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees of one special U.S. counsel and one special Spanish counsel for the Purchasers, provided that, as to the costs and expenses of Spanish counsel, Cemex Espana and the holders shall have agreed upon the scope of work to be done by such Spanish counsel prior to its engagement) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, the Note Guarantee or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, the Note Guarantee or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Note Guarantee or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note; (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors' fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Note Guarantee and by the Notes; and (c) the fees and costs incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information, and all subsequent annual and interim filings of documents and financial information related to this Agreement (provided the Company shall not be required to pay more than $2,500 per year in respect of subsequent annual and interim filings), with the SVO. The Company and Cemex Espana will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of the fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those retained by any Purchaser). 15.2 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Cemex Espana under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note Guarantee or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement. 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the related Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any such Note or portion thereof or interest therein and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of any such Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any other holder of any such Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company or Cemex Espana pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company and Cemex Espana under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Company and Cemex Espana and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 17.1 Requirements. This Agreement, the Note Guarantee and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of Cemex Espana, the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used in any such Section), will be effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder in writing and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (iii) amend Section 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20. 17.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes. (a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, the Note Guarantee or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Note Guarantee unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 17.3 Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon Cemex Espana and the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company, Cemex Espana and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, under the Note Guarantee or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term "this Agreement" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. 17.4 Notes held by Company, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Note Guarantee or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein, in the Note Guarantee or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company, Cemex Espana or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 18.

The Financing Documents have been prepared and signed in English and the parties hereto agree that the English versions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall be the only versions valid for the purpose of the interpretation and construction hereof and thereof notwithstanding the preparation of any translation into another language of any Financing Document, whether official or otherwise or whether prepared in relation to any proceedings which may be brought in the Kingdom of Spain or The Netherlands in respect of any Financing Document. 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves) and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each of Cemex Espana and the Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit Cemex Espana, the Company or any other holder from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For the purposes of this Section 20, "Confidential Information" means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on the behalf of such Purchaser, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by Cemex Espana or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) such Purchaser's directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by such Purchaser's Notes), (ii) such Purchaser's financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20U, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any security of the Company or Cemex Espana (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser's investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser's Notes, the Note Guarantee and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20U as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by Cemex Espana in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with Cemex Espana embodying the provisions of this Section 20. 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of such Purchaser's Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that such Purchaser has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate's agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word "Purchaser" is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such words shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word "Purchaser" is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such words shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such Purchaser, and such Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 22. MISCELLANEOUS. 22.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 22.2 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 22.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 22.4 Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or that such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 22.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
